100 Year Old Stetson Cowboy Hat
Ritch Rand has a book out about cowboy hats, it has photos in it showing the Stetson embossed shield (like the 4th photo on this ebay hat). He uses hats from the Gene Autry museum and other sources where the hat's owner was known. That would be the first place I'd look to get a rough idea on... -
Vintage Concealed Weapons
My experience with vintage shoulder holsters has been those from Lawrence and Berns-Martin. The Lawrence I had used a metal clip inside of the leather, it goes around a revolver's cylinder, so you pull the gun through the opening in the clip to draw it. The revolver is carried vertically, muzzle...- DBLIII

Getting the nerve...
Canadave -- I live and work in the middle of Missouri. We'll see how well I'm filling in my profile as to whether that shows up when I submit this reply! -

Old Hat: your post wasn't "long," it was outstanding. I will spend the day thinking about some of your reasoning. Thanks very much. David -

Author tracks down the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìDemise of The Fedora?¢‚Ǩ?!
I ordered the book from amazon.com yesterday. Should be interesting to read. Regarding vehicles -- when Pontiac brought out the Fiero (I hope I'm remembering this name correctly, two door, engine in the rear, plastic body panels), I passed on one because there was no place to put my hat. The... -
Etchison Fedora's???
James: Absolutely. My background is cowboy hats, as I've worn one every single day for the past 20 years. It's just recently that I've been moving into the 20th century. Anyway, a stunning new very high quality cowboy hat is perhaps $500+, my beaver blend Rand's hats were in the $300 range... -
Etchison Fedora's???
A new member here, so hello to everyone. I thought the same thing on those hats. I'm "LDLKennels" -- and that bidder just smoked past me on the long oval hat. I know very little about vintage hats, but it didn't seem from what I've learned here that this particular hat would be worth that kind...
